The Times When Creation Shows Up
I am reading a book, entitled ; “Silence, (in the age of noise.)” Written by: Erline Kagge, he asked Mark Juncosa , “When I asked Mark Juncosa, one of the minds behind Musk’s space programme, whether he ever has the chance to think out the ideas that could revolutionize the rocket industry, he replied: “A normal work day at best contains eight hours of meetings, a few hours to respond to emails. It all blurs together. The only time to shut out the world is when I exercise, surf, take a shower or sit on the toilet. That’s when new solutions surface.”

To make my point, a song came to me taking a shower, it came so quickly, I could only step outside to grab a piece of paper and pen and write it down, wet and smeared ink , I later copied it to Microsoft word.

I get it.” Bob Dylan gets it, as he explains in a 60 minute interview, most artist gets it.
Free your space, and let creativity come to you. Find your ‘silence.’
Below the song…
Storm’s Rhythmic Dance
It is always nice to hear
the thunder after a bright
electrical streak across the sky.
My granddaddy use to say,
“Do not be afraid of the thunder,
the danger just passed.”
It is the surprise of the lightening
cutting across the dark sky
Illuminating the silhouettes of trees,
not seen in the darkness of
the morning horizon.
A rhythm of light and sound,
an autumn storm of drum rolls
and quiet interludes pause.
Then the conductor of the heavens
raise his sticks and once again,
the lightening magically cuts
across in jagged patterns.
Moments later the thunder
drums out a rhythm of response
and the storm rolls on.

Sweet Bread and Tea
A tradition of women
who have long since passed.
Has given belonging
to those who are last.
We stand in the clovers,
we pour tea at its best.
As the sweet bread is served
among all the rest.
May the Celtic women
long survive,
into the histories
and the archives.
